Championship Wrap Up with Princeton’s Ryan Croddick and Chad Palumbo
Princeton caps a dominant postseason with its first national title in 25 years, and D-Fly & Dixie break down every angle of Championship Weekend in Charlottesville. From Princeton’s blistering second‑quarter run to Notre Dame’s costly mistakes, the guys unpack how the Tigers seized control and never let go. They also revisit Saturday’s semifinals, where discipline—and a couple of pivotal moments—separated the winners from the rest.

The episode dives deep into the stunning coaching news at Virginia, including Lars Tiffany’s departure, Kevin Cassese’s rapid promotion, and what insiders were really saying in Charlottesville. Dixie shares behind‑the‑scenes stories from Media Day, his battle with illness, and why stepping away from lacrosse Twitter has been life‑changing.

Finally, national champs Chad Palumbo and Ryan Cradock join the show to reflect on Princeton’s historic run and the celebration that followed.
